delude_v by_o the_o feign_a flatter_a and_o crafty_a counsel_n of_o those_o about_o he_o who_o look_v with_o a_o sinister_a eye_n upon_o our_o state_n now_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v all_o

to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o king_n soul_n honour_n reputation_n wealth_n person_n and_o posterity_n therefore_o the_o parliament_n and_o all_o those_o who_o side_n with_o they_o in_o this_o

and_o equity_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o either_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o or_o dare_v not_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n answ_n 1._o first_o it_o be_v because_o they_o see_v that_o some_o about_o the_o king_n be_v potent_a with_o he_o who_o affect_v not_o the_o parliament_n nor_o their_o proceed_n have_v that_o inflnence_n in_o his_o counsel_n and_o be_v so_o

not_o lay_v any_o fault_n upon_o the_o king_n but_o rather_o impute_v the_o fault_n which_o have_v be_v of_o late_a obvious_a to_o many_o unto_o some_o about_o he_o or_o in_o great_a favour_n with_o he_o great_a discouragement_n i_o grant_v the_o parliament_n in_o their_o proceed_n have_v have_v from_o the_o king_n but_o i_o dare_v not_o imagine_v that_o they_o come_v original_o and_o primary_o from_o he_o but_o from_o some_o about_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o vast_a difference_n which_o be_v between_o his_o word_n speak_v to_o his_o parliament_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n when_o he_o be_v with_o they_o and_o the_o message_n send_v unto_o and_o the_o heavy_a charge_n lay_v upon_o they_o in_o his_o letter_n and_o declaration_n now_o when_o he_o be_v absent_a from_o they_o he_o say_v once_o that_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n and_o as_o he_o be_v a_o gentleman_n he_o will_v redress_v the_o grievance_n of_o his_o people_n as_o well_o out_o of_o the_o parliament_n as_o in_o it_o again_o that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o put_v himself_o free_o and_o clear_o upon_o the_o love_n and_o affection_n of_o his_o english_a subject_n again_o we_o do_v engage_v unto_o you_o solemn_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n that_o the_o security_n of_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o violence_n be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o our_o care_n as_o the_o preservation_n of_o we_o and_o our_o child_n and_o yet_o what_o action_n and_o passage_n have_v of_o late_o fall_v out_o quite_o contrary_a to_o all_o those_o expression_n the_o parliament_n and_o all_o who_o side_n with_o it_o assist_v it_o or_o obey_v it_o in_o any_o of_o the_o commission_n or_o order_n thereof_o be_v assault_v oppose_v yea_o now_o at_o last_o proclaim_v traitor_n again_o his_o majesty_n do_v profess_v the_o detestation_n of_o a_o civil_a war_n and_o abhor_v as_o he_o say_v the_o very_a apprehension_n of_o it_o but_o this_o mind_n seem_v neither_o to_o be_v in_o they_o who_o come_v with_o his_o majesty_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o nor_o who_o accompany_v he_o to_o hampton-court_n and_o appear_v in_o a_o warlike_a manner_n at_o kingston_n nor_o in_o divers_a of_o those_o who_o have_v be_v with_o he_o and_o employ_v by_o he_o at_o york_n hull_n liecester-shire_n lancashire_n sommersetshire_n northamptonshire_n and_o other_o place_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o conceive_v that_o the_o king_n be_v put_v upon_o these_o course_n and_o way_n by_o his_o evil_a counsellor_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o parliament_n can_v confide_v in_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n until_o those_o counsellor_n be_v put_v from_o he_o or_o forsake_v by_o he_o and_o answ_n 2._o second_o because_o of_o that_o trust_n which_o be_v repose_v in_o they_o i_o dare_v bold_o say_v that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v take_v or_o make_v those_o protestation_n which_o he_o make_v in_o his_o message_n and_o declaration_n unto_o any_o one_o of_o the_o parliament_n house_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o promise_n either_o unto_o they_o or_o they_o which_o do_v simple_o and_o sole_o concern_v themselves_o they_o will_v believe_v and_o obey_v he_o and_o without_o any_o further_a question_n confide_v in_o he_o but_o they_o can_v do_v this_o in_o the_o case_n and_o place_n wherein_o they_o be_v the_o trust_v repose_v by_o the_o people_n in_o the_o parliament_n be_v as_o well_o to_o preserve_v the_o kingdom_n by_o make_v of_o new_a law_n when_o and_o where_o there_o shall_v be_v need_v as_o byobserve_v and_o put_v the_o law_n already_o make_v in_o

execution_n and_o therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o trust_n they_o dare_v not_o hazard_v the_o safety_n preservation_n and_o sole_a manage_v of_o the_o land_n to_o his_o majesty_n alone_o upon_o his_o bare_a word_n because_o if_o after_o such_o confide_n of_o they_o in_o the_o king_n upon_o his_o faithful_a promise_n unto_o they_o he_o shall_v be_v over-swayed_n and_o seduce_v by_o some_o wicked_a counsellor_n to_o lay_v some_o illegal_a imposition_n taxation_n and_o burden_n upon_o his_o people_n as_o he_o do_v soon_o after_o the_o grant_n of_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n unto_o the_o subject_a the_o kingdom_n than_o will_v and_o may_v just_o blame_v they_o as_o the_o author_n of_o their_o grievance_n that_o have_v so_o light_o give_v away_o their_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n by_o subject_v they_o to_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o indeed_o if_o we_o will_v but_o consider_v it_o without_o passion_n and_o partiality_n the_o case_n be_v no_o other_o but_o this_o if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v whole_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n word_n and_o promise_n than_o there_o be_v no_o more_o requisite_a in_o they_o than_o this_o to_o make_v a_o declaration_n unto_o his_o majest_n of_o the_o grievance_n burden_n annoyance_n and_o illegal_a proceed_n in_o all_o or_o such_o and_o such_o court_n or_o person_n to_o the_o great_a oppression_n and_o heartbreak_a of_o the_o subject_a and_o have_v so_o do_v to_o obtain_v some_o serious_a promise_n and_o protestation_n from_o the_o king_n to_o take_v off_o all_o those_o pressure_n and_o to_o be_v careful_a for_o the_o future_a that_o no_o such_o shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o they_o and_o then_o to_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n and_o to_o break_v up_o the_o parliament_n and_o repair_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o house_n now_o if_o sense_n reason_n experience_n and_o knowledge_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o this_o be_v far_o from_o or_o come_v far_o short_a of_o the_o true_a nature_n and_o duty_n of_o a_o parliament_n then_o let_v we_o think_v that_o it_o be_v reason_n as_o the_o case_n now_o stand_v that_o the_o parliament_n shall_v not_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n and_o answ_n 3._o three_o because_o it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v admit_v our_o present_a sovereign_n be_v as_o prudent_a as_o solomon_n yea_o as_o pious_a as_o david_n yea_o like_v he_o a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n yet_o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o the_o parliament_n so_o to_o confide_v in_o he_o that_o they_o shall_v trust_v the_o manage_v of_o all_o the_o great_a and_o weighty_a affair_n of_o this_o kingdom_n whole_o and_o sole_o unto_o he_o and_o consequent_o grant_v he_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o rule_v we_o according_a to_o the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n or_o as_o the_o lord_n shall_v move_v and_o persuade_v his_o heart_n this_o i_o say_v be_v not_o safe_a because_o if_o they_o grant_v give_v or_o settle_v this_o power_n upon_o he_o as_o king_n of_o england_n than_o all_o other_o succeed_a king_n will_v challenge_v and_o claim_v it_o as_o due_a or_o think_v they_o be_v not_o respect_v as_o their_o predecessor_n whence_o if_o any_o of_o they_o prove_v tyrant_n or_o tyrannous_a oppressor_n we_o shall_v be_v most_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a slave_n ob._n some_o perhaps_o may_v here_o object_v that_o although_o prince_n shall_v not_o use_v their_o absolute_a power_n by_o do_v always_o what_o they_o listen_v yet_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v circumscribe_v limit_v or_o restrain_v in_o their_o government_n by_o any_o tie_n or_o obligation_n of_o law_n answ_n 1._o first_o it_o be_v much_o better_a consider_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o be_v withhold_v by_o some_o restraint_n of_o law_n and_o covenant_n from_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o which_o we_o can_v justisie_n before_o god_n in_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n then_o to_o be_v boundless_a law_n less_o and_o left_a to_o live_v as_o we_o listen_v and_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o seem_v good_a in_o our_o own_o eye_n answ_n 2._o second_o this_o also_o be_v better_o for_o other_o for_o as_o the_o crane_n have_v better_a to_o keep_v his_o head_n out_o of_o the_o wolf_n mouth_n then_o to_o put_v it_o into_o his_o mouth_n and_o then_o stand_v at_o his_o mercy_n whether_o he_o will_v bite_v off_o his_o neck_n or_o not_o so_o it_o be_v better_a for_o every_o wise_a man_n rather_o to_o keep_v and_o preserve_v those_o immunity_n freedom_n prerogative_n and_o privilege_n which_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v give_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o preservation_n prosperity_n and_o peace_n of_o his_o posterity_n person_n and_o estate_n then_o to_o disenfranchize_v himself_o and_o to_o relinquish_v and_o resign_v all_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o &_o to_o give_v he_o power_n either_o to_o impoverish_v or_o enrich_v either_o to_o kill_v he_o or_o keep_v he_o alive_a finis_fw-la
